Excerpt from Round About the Torres Straits: A Record of Australian Church Missions The limits of space have obliged me to omit all reference to some of the most devoted workers, and in particular to the magnificent work of the women on the staff of the New Guinea Mission. Their work has been quite equal to that of the men, and they have offered themselves yet more freely.. It would require a book to give any idea of their manifold activities, and of the extraordinary devotion with which they have given themselves to the advancement of the kingdom of Christ.
